for john mccain, this isn't his first rodeo. when he ran for president there were town halls screaming about him about immigration. a lot of other members of congress who may not be as time tested with that type of crowd should learn to get used to it. we're going to see a lot as this debate goes forward. from certain members of the republican base that don't really want to see something go through that would allow illegal immigrants have a path to citizenship. >> let me play another clip from the town hall. >> you want to round up 11 million people and send them back to their country? they are not going to do that. they are not going to do that. >> you're saying 11 million, it's more like 30 million. >> you're not telling the truth, not telling the fact. wait a minute, i've got to stop you when you tell these people something that's untrue. >> obviously felicia, john mccain is as jackie pointed out very aware of this faction of his party. the white house knows it too. how do they work around this with members of congress who co

but you also heard from john mccain saying we will not accept delay or avoidance. nick christoph, it seems, part of the problem is you're trying to make a deal about someone with chemical weapons who claims there are no chemical weapons. i just want to remind people of the interview that president assad did just two days ago. >> would you give up chemical weapons if it would prevent the president from authorizing a strike? >> if that is a deal you would accept. >> you imply we have chemical -- it's his problem if he has something. for us in syria, we have principles. we do anything to prevent the region from another crazy war. >> is this a credible alternative -- if you have someone who's suggesting your accession in the first place isn't credible. >> boy, you have to give it a chance and you have to pursue it. at the end of the day, i think it's going to be every bit as difficult for the obama administration to work with moscow and damascus as it is to work with the house and the senate. it did seem to me that a good deal of secretary hagel's testimony, secretary

john mccain says this is going to damage republicans. >> well, i think when you have senator cruz and others constantly going out and running ads that we can defund obama care, i think that hurts the republican party. i think this is an opportunity to maybe start putting an end to that and maybe a unification of the republican party. so admittedly, we have our own growing pains and we have some things we need to work out among the far arch conservative right wing of our party and i think this is part of that process, as painful as it is, but it is necessary. >> and let me ask you quickly, because while washington is talking about shutting down the government, there are some new diplomatic fronts opening up on syria and iran. you're a former marine, former fbi special agent. two weeks ago the country was preparing to go to war it seemed like to strike syria and show iran we were serious about red lines. today we have a deal in place to get rid of syria's chemical weapons and iran's new leaders are sending signals they're willing to curb their nuclear program. does it matter how we got

mccain snuck in a couple of winks during george w. bush's state of the union in 2007. a sleepless night is getting more common. a full 30% of civilian workers get less than six hours of sleep, says the cdc. the night shift is the worst. for instance, 70% of night shift workers and transportation and warehousing are sleep deprived. the best sleep? the finance industry along with educators at 27%. they don't take their laptops and phones to bed. the glow can simulate daylight and simulate sleep. with the 24-hour global economy it's tough to get unplugged. so businesses like pod time are seeing orders rise for stacked sleeping pods, stereos that help you get in the mood and racks for bedtime reading torl put away your laptop as well. insomniac classes are on the increase as well. late night yoga and meditation and they say bring your pajamas. and sleeping pill ads are everywhere. americans are doing just about anything and anywhere to grab some zs. and in fact, chris, you are probably wondering where i am right now. >> i wasn't actually,
